this made me cry. i relate to this on the deepest level. my wife suffers from severe hyperemesis gravidarum and is unable to carry a child to full term. i am intimately aware of the significance such things bear upon the woman involved. it is something that is forever with you in a world wont to forget. not a day goes by in which the lost child is not grieved. my heart is with all women in all circumstances but in this regard most of all.

When I read your poem, it reminded me of my miscarriage. First pregnancy and everything. I hated it when people told me “it was meant to be” or “your baby is in a better place.” Worst advice ever. A piece of me died when I miscarried.
